I started my car last night, let it run for about 2 min and then it just shut off. I tried to start it again bt wouldn't start. Also when I tried turning it on again the gauges didn't flick around and go back to zero and stay on as they normally would. The more times I tried starting it the less the gauges would come on, until they wouldn't at all. Last, once I turned the key off I hear a single beep from my alarm which has never been heard before.. Does anyone know what couldve happened to it??

If a new battery doesnt solve your issue, I have seen some keys which are chipped ( like your STi) cause some problems like this before. I have ran into this twice, once on a Forester and once on an STi...
